AIBU to feel hurt I’m excluded from partner’s friend group?

[Oldknowe]

So I had thought I got on ok with my partner's friends... I don't go out very often as I have the kids, but I am in their pub group chat.

I noticed it had been pretty quiet on the normally busy chat and mentioned it to my partner.

He said they had set up a new 'blokes only' chat, I wouldn't be able to join... oh well...

The thing is a month later I've found it's not; female partners of some of the others have been added, plus a newly single flirty woman.

(This woman has previously posted a picture of herself and my partner with a caption like "she thinks she's dreaming but knows when she wakes it will still be true that she's found love!" on Instagram.)

Ok so I'm pissed off, it feels awful to be excluded but what can I do.

But now a friend is getting married, there's going to be "an amazing evening reception, with 500 people attending" - all of the friend group are involved, my partner is helping with the set-up of part of it using equipment from our house.

I've just found out I'm not invited.

I feel really bad inside. Desperately low.
What is wrong with me?

Bloody hell op it’s a good job the crazy bridezilla doesn’t come across me. I would wear that t shirt and I do box. If she threatened me like that I’d knock the fucker out. And no, I’m not joking.
Block her and her boyfriend out of your life. Tell your dh never to mention the fucktards name again and that she is not welcome in your house- ever.
Stand up for yourself op.
I cannot imagine a situation where I would ever speak to someone again if they treated my dh the way that you have been treated, and vice versa.
Get out and meet new friends op. Go out and let your dh do the babysitting. Like a previous poster said just go out, it doesn’t matter where. Make something up if you have to. You might start looking at your dh differently when you have a new found life.

Oh that’s good.

Thank goodness.

That’s a good decision (eventually).

Great update.

Good to hear the update. It sounds like this bride is the heart of the problems of this group and has basically hijacked it and no one has the balls to stop her!

I am so relieved for you OP, your DH has done the right thing. And now Bridezilla can pay for her own damn lighting and sound!

Also, respect to you for standing up for your beliefs.

Absolutely! And I hope your DH won't be talked into lending any equipment.

It was high time he stuck up for himself and for you.

It is odd isn't it? So of all the 500 guests none are allowed to bring partners?
